Salaam Prince,
I explain it through the logic of underlying concepts of physics, simple principles repeat throughout creation and from these simple concepts a picture of the deeper reality can be glimpsed. If you want to have a read its here

I have read that article and found it informative but yet it hasn't made me understand what you mean by each forever being a revolution of time. It would be better if you could explain this in posts on how you reached this concept of forever.
PEACE

Salaam Prince,
everything is spinning, we only perceive time as linear, time is spinning also, so once an event has happened it has 'been' from the very beginning of all existence, this demonstrates the infinite potential Allah represents, all possibilities exist infinitely at every instant, the time we exist within is manifest, we know this because it is a field of energy, energy is simply the imaginative thought of Allah, while circular time is the structure of the formation of the dichotomy of Allah.

Peace Faithful-Jinn and everyone,
I'm not going to waste trying to convert you to Islam or to believe in the Quran but I will paraphrase what I gain from the parable of the soil from the New Testament
Basically Jesus says there is someone sowing seeds. The seeds are sowed on different types of soil.
The parable of the soils describes what becomes of seed that is sown in four different types of soil. The first type of soil is the hardened soil of the pathway. This seed does not penetrate the soil at all, but is quickly snatched up by the birds of the air. The second type of soil is the rocky soil, a shallow layer of earth, barely covering the rock below. The seed which falls upon this type of soil quickly germinates, aided by the warmth retained by the rock, but hindered by a lack of depth and by a lack of moisture. The seed which germinates quickly also terminates quickly. The third soil is the thorny soil, a soil populated with thorns. The seed falling into this soil germinates and begins to grow, but is eventually crowded out by the hardier thorns. The fourth soil is the fruitful soil, that soil which produces a bountiful crop. Having told the story, Jesus put an exclamation point after it by adding these words
The seeds represent the seeds of God's grace or revelation which will grow into the fruits of our faith and deeds and lead us to heaven. The first type of soil represents the person who has never heard the word of God or refuses to open their hearts to God and so the seeds are eaten by birds.
The second type of soil represents someone who accepts God's word on a superficial or shallow level with no deep or true understanding and their faith has the appearance of beginning to grow but in a short time the small sprout quickly died.
The third type of soil represents someone who accepts God's word but allows the things of this world to get in the way and distract them from focusing on the hereafter and obstruct their faith, hence their seeds become tangled in thorns.
The fourth type of soil represents one who hears the word of God and believes with all their heart in the hereafter and lets nothing remove them from the path of righteousness and so they will enjoy the fruits of their deeds in paradise.The point of the parable is that it is not the seeds that are unfit or defunct but the earth that receives them.
Interesting parable.
I recommend reading these parables
